Messages of Condolence
Aunty you will be dearly missed by us all, I’m particularly going to miss my visits with you on my days off which were full of laughter and reminiscing about the old times and the struggles you all overcome . Remembering the days when the Anglo Italian clan were all here spending family times together. Rest easy Zia, you’ve certainly earned it. Please give my mama and Sorella a big kiss for me. Oscar sends a big kiss to you and will miss our visits too, tell my mum about him please. Lots of love Derek, Deb and Oscar xxx

From Barcelona, Spain, we want to say goodbye to our aunt and sister-in-law. With the pain in our hearts and the joy of having had the pleasure of having her in our lives, she will now be by Uncle Guillermo’s side, laughing and watching over us from heaven. The queen has left us, but her memories will always remain with Uncle Guillermo, with us until the end of our lives, until we meet again, along with all the Pérez family. My beautiful aunt and sister-in-law, infinite hugs and kisses for our queen.
